Pachyta lamed is a bettle species of the Lepturinae subfamily in long-horned beetle family.[1] This beetle is distributed in Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and in United States, and Canada.[1] Adult beetle feeds on Norway spruce.[1]

The larvae reside within the roots or stumps of dead or decaying coniferous trees, particularly spruce (Picea spp.) and fir (Abies spp.). During the larval stage, which can span many years, the beetles dig into the wood and feed on the decomposing tissues.[2]
